[quote=Anonymous]We moved from the suburbs to the city at 11 and 8 and asked both kids after a year if they wanted to go back to the suburbs and neither did; older kid was extremely enthusiastic on that point, younger was borderline (and had a slightly rougher transition at school) but had enough things they liked about the city (camps, after-school activities, the ability to walk home from school or to the grocery store or whatever independently) that ultimately they decided they'd rather stay too. I can't promise that every kid will react that way: in our case they also never really fit in that well in the suburbs (despite living there as long as long as either of them could remember), they were always pretty low on the social hierarchy and weren't very good at sports. But at least in our case it was a strong net positive.[/quote]
